Chapter 161: Secret Conversation in the Dark Room
The disappearance of King Yan in Suyang soon spread in the court, and the emperor was shocked and sent several people south to Suyang to find King Yan, and at the same time, Chu Yanzhi took this opportunity to encircle the courtiers while increasing his efforts to attack the Yan Wang faction.
And Xiao Xiwei, who heard the news, didn't react at all, but from that day on, she ordered someone to prepare needlework and fabrics, and stayed in Yongchun Palace all day long tirelessly sewing clothes.
At the same time, in the secret room of the Yan Palace.
"Brother Huang, can you pinch or can you forget it? , why is every action so unexpected? When Chu Muyi saw Chu Xizhi, he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder.
Whether it was his sudden appearance in the capital now, or whether he had the foresight to secretly build such a secret passage between the Yan Wangfu and the Qin Wangfu, you must know that they had not yet sealed the king's mansion at that time.
Chu Xizhi smiled, "You can just pinch me and count it." ”
"Brother Huang, to be honest, I was shocked when the news of your disappearance in Suyang came out, do you know how many people our father has sent to Suyang to 'inquire about the news' recently." Chu Muzhi squeezed his eyebrows at Chu Xizhi and said.
Both he and Chu Xizhi knew that on the surface, they were 'seeking out news', but secretly they were actually trying to take this opportunity to attack him.
Chu Xizhi hooked the corners of his lips, "I'm afraid that my son will disappoint him." ”
"That's not necessarily, our father is a golden mouth, if he says that you are gone, even if you are still there, I am afraid that ......"
Chu Muzhi didn't say the rest of the words, but he knew that Chu Xizhi must have understood his words.
Regardless of whether the emperor and the people sent by Chu Yanzhi can rob and kill Chu Xizhi, they will not miss the information that he will be 'killed', and when the time comes, taking advantage of the turmoil in the court, Chu Xizhi's people can't react, and immediately issue an order to establish Chu Yanzhi as the crown prince, even if Chu Xizhi is really alive in the world, it will be too late, at most it will only be to investigate the responsibility of a few slaves for dereliction of duty.
"That's for the best." Chu Xizhi said, and a strange light suddenly flashed in his eyes.
"Lord Wang, martial law has been imposed everywhere in the capital in the past two days, and all the city gates are Gu An's people." Lu Haichuan, who had not spoken, looked at Chu Xizhi silently and said.
This move was obviously because he was afraid that King Yan Chu Xizhi would suddenly sneak back to the capital, so he spread a big net in the capital early in the morning, as long as King Yan returned to Beijing, he would not want to retreat again.
Chu Xizhi looked at Lu Haichuan, "Then according to what the prince said, what should this king do?" ”
He actually didn't expect Chu Muzhi to bring Lu Haichuan over, although Lu Haichuan was not untrustworthy, but it was really a bit risky to bring him here.
"Is the prince suspicious of me?" Lu Haichuan looked at Chu Xidao.
"Brother Huang, Lu Shizi is a trustworthy person." Before Chu Xizhi could speak, Chu Muzhi preemptively spoke, "Brother Huang, you must have a plan to return to Beijing this time, but now I am surrounded by eyeliner, and my every move is being watched by others, so it is really inconvenient to come forward for you, so ......" Chu Muzhi said, turning his gaze to Lu Haichuan.
At present, the only one who can easily come forward for Chu Xizhi is Lu Haichuan.
After all, Lu Guogong has openly thrown himself behind Chu Yanzhi, and Lu Haichuan, as the son of Lu Guogong, is not trusted by Chu Yanzhi, but it is much more convenient for him to act with this identity. Therefore, when Lu Haichuan proposed to come with him to see Chu Xizhi, he weighed it for a long time and finally agreed.
"Wei'er looked for you?" Chu Xizhi looked at Lu Haichuan and smiled lightly.
Lu Haichuan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Chu Xizhi with some puzzlement.
"This king just wants to tell you, just to choose the person you believe, then this king will also believe him unconditionally." Chu Xizhi looked at Lu Haichuan calmly and said.
As long as it is someone she believes, then he will also believe unconditionally.
Lu Haichuan looked at Chu Xizhi's inky eyes, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his heart. He looked at Chu Xizhi for a long time before raising his hand and waving it at Chu Xizhi, and said, "I will definitely not live up to the trust of the prince." ”
will not live up to her trust.
Chu Xizhi raised his hand and patted Lu Haichuan's shoulder, raised his hand to untie a jade plate from his body and handed it to Lu Haichuan, "This is the jade plate of this king, you just need to hold it, and others will believe what you say." ”
Lu Haichuan stretched out his hand to take the jade plate from Chu Xizhi's hand, raised his hand and waved it towards Chu Xizhi, "Thank you for your trust." ”
Seeing that Chu Xizhi and Lu Haichuan had reached an agreement, Chu Muzhi, who led Lu Haichuan here, breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Huang, the Qin Palace's mansion is full of eyeliner, I can't stay here longer, so I'll leave." ”
"Okay." Chu Xizhi nodded.
"Then take care of the emperor." Chu Muzhi raised his hand and waved at Chu Xizhi as he spoke.
"Don't worry." The way of pity.
Chu Muzhi turned around and wanted to leave, but when he saw that Lu Haichuan was still standing still, he couldn't help frowning, "Shizi, aren't you together?" ”
Lu Haichuan looked at Chu Xizhi and seemed to be hesitating whether to say it or not.
"It seems that the prince still has something to say to this king." Chu Xizhi smiled faintly, "Mu Zhi, why don't you go first." ”
Chu Muzhi glanced at Lu Haichuan, although he didn't know what he was going to say to the imperial brother, but Yi Lu Haichuan's personality, coupled with his current situation, it was absolutely impossible to be unfavorable to the imperial brother, so he nodded immediately, and then turned around and left this secret room.
Chu Xizhi walked to the couch and sat down, and when he saw that Lu Haichuan was still standing, he couldn't help but smile and raised his hand at him, "Shizi, please take a seat." ”
Lu Haichuan pursed the corners of his lips and sat opposite Chu Xizhi as he said.
Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand to pick up the teapot and personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Haichuan, "This tea is called Lushan Yunwu, it is Wei'er's favorite tea, you can taste it." ”
Lu Haichuan was originally not interested in tea, but when he heard Chu Xizhi say that this tea was Xiao Xiwei's favorite drink, he inexplicably picked up the teacup and took a sip carefully.
Chu Xizhi's inky eyes moved suddenly, and the corners of his lips hooked up with an imperceptible smile.
"I don't know what the prince wants to say to this king?" Chu Xizhi put it in the teacup and looked at Lu Haichuan with a smile.
Lu Haichuan hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Actually, it's about Princess Yan's sister-in-law......"
"Sister-in-law?" Chu Xizhi casually touched the white jade wrench in his hand, and his sharp sword eyebrows unconsciously picked lightly, "What do you mean......"
"Miss Xiao Si who married into the Lu State Mansion." Lu Haichuan Road.
A clean and timid little face suddenly jumped out of Chu Xizhi's mind.
In her memory, Xiwei seemed to love her sister very much, and in order to prevent her from marrying Lu Haiyang, she even hoped that he would help her become a lobbyist to persuade Mu Zhi to marry her.
"What's wrong with her?"
"She's pregnant." Lu Haichuan Road.
"Pregnant? Lu Haiyang's? A cold light suddenly flashed in Chu Xi's eyes.
Soon, he realized that Xiao Xichun, the father of the child, would have no one else except Lu Haiyang. This Lu Haiyang is really a beast, Xiao Xichun is just a child at the moment, he can really do it.
"Princess Yan sent someone to me for this matter, hoping that I could secretly help her kill this child, but ......"
"Just what?"
"Miss Xiao Si, she insists on giving birth to this child." Lu Haichuan Road.
"What did you say?" Chu Xizhi looked at Lu Haichuan in some surprise, a little unable to believe what he heard.
Not to mention whether Xiao Xichun still loves Mu Zhi in her heart, but at her age, insisting on giving birth to a child is almost a gamble with her life. What is the reason for this?
"Is she afraid of being intrigued?" Chu Xizhi said softly.
At the beginning, she knew that Lu Haiyang had bad intentions towards her, but she still insisted on marrying into the Lu State Mansion despite Xiwei's opposition, firstly, because she was afraid of Mu Xin's death, and secondly, she was afraid that Xiwei would be implicated in this matter.
It seems that Wei'er really didn't hurt this sister in vain.
Lu Haichuan did not answer.
Chu Xizhi stared at Lu Haichuan's eyes, and after a long time, his deep voice slowly sounded, "Then follow what she said." ”
Obviously, those eyes were dark without a trace of fluctuation, but Lu Haichuan inexplicably felt a little weak. He got up and saluted Chu Xizhi, "Then I'll retire first." ”
Chu Xizhi smiled and nodded, and a faint smile appeared in his ink-colored eyes, "Shizi, please." ”
Lu Haichuan waved his hand at Chu Xizhi, and then turned around and left.
As soon as Lu Haichuan left, the door of the dark room next to him suddenly opened, and a figure suddenly walked out, it was Chu Muzhi, who had left in front.
"Why are you back again?" Chu Xiyi poured tea for himself while smiling at Chu Muzhi.
"I thought about it, and I always felt that it was a little strange for him to insist on letting me bring him to see you this time, so I stayed out of curiosity." Chu Muzhi sat down in the position where Lu Haiyang was sitting just now, and took the cup of tea that Chu Xizhi had just poured over and took a sip.
"Is it strange?" Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Chu Muzhi also raised his eyebrows, and asked with a smile, "Isn't it strange?" ”
"So what's strange about you?" Chu Xizhi said with a smile.
Chu Muzhimi's eyes were raised, and the smile on his face was also put away, "Not only him, but even the imperial brother, you are very strange." ”
"What do you mean by this, don't you want her to give birth to this child?" Chu Xizhi's sword eyebrows were raised slightly, and his slender eyes swept towards Chu Muzhi with a smile, "Mu Zhi, do you regret it?" ”
Chu Muzhi's face changed suddenly, but soon, he regained his composure, "Since the imperial brother refuses to say, then forget it, the younger brother will retire first." With that, he got up and left.
When he heard what Lu Haichuan said, he really regretted it for a moment, it is true that he did not fall in love with Xiao Xichun, but it is undeniable that Xichun is a good girl, if he could promise her at that time, then her tragic fate now can be avoided.
There are a few people like them who are as lucky as Brother Qi and can join hands with the person they love for a lifetime...... Those things were like unattainable dreams, and he knew that the chances he could hold were slim, so why didn't he reach out to pull her in the first place.
At least, she really loves him.
Just like Chu Muzhi's entanglement at this time, Chu Xizhi's heart is the same at this moment. Because, he and Lu Haichuan made the same decision. He and he both knew Xiao Xichun's position in Xiao Xiwei's heart, but now that the situation is urgent, the emperor and Chu Yanzhi must want him to have news in this world, so Xiwei, who is pregnant with his flesh and blood, can be said to be frightened step by step, and one careless will lead to death, so they can't let her take risks for Xiao Xichun. He guessed that in fact, Xiao Xichun must not have wanted this child, but Lu Haiyang analyzed the situation at this time for her, Xiao Xichun was willing to marry Lu Haiyang for fear of implicating Xiwei, and now he is naturally willing to give birth to this child for Xiwei again.
He and Lu Haichuan coincidentally chose to be sorry for Xiao Xichun.
However, he is because Xiwei is the woman he loves deeply, so, Lu Haichuan?
